Shadow Arena - Out of Character Discussion

Post by **Kinslayer** » Mon Apr 06, 2009 9:55 pm

This thread is open for OOC discussion of the Shadow Arena. Please note, that means when a game is being played those players in that game can talk about that game in here. This is to be kept on topic, and only to be used in conjunction with a Shadow Arena game. The idea of this topic is to give players in a game a way to communicate without taking the game itself off topic, thus I will delete any post in here not abiding by this rule.

If you are participating in a Shadow Arena game feel free to use this thread for discussion.

Although I have already mentioned it in my character post, I'd just like to say well done again to Kinslayer, judging from both the Shadow Arena Character Creation and Rules threads he has put a great deal of effort into version 2. I'm keen as to start playing.

We've got 10 players, let the bloodshed begin!

And to all those who don't play the druchii... well, you've already lost due to choice of a lesser race :twisted:

This be the place to issue death threats? BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Wait, wrong character

Is Gil'Valyer High or Dark elf?

Considering he has a longbow I'm guessing High Elf... it's important

How does the movement stat work exactly? What does it do? O.o

Gil'Valyer must be a high elf because he has blademaster as one of his abilities, Dark elves dont have it

T'keela · Post by **T'keela** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 3:22 am

Gil'Vayer is a high elf, cause im about to split him from head to toooooooooooooe! At least thats what I keep telling myself.

Fight, fight, fight, fight. I better not be the first one to die. I don't like dying, it's no fun.

T'keela · Post by **T'keela** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 9:53 am

Hahaha I intend to slay you just like in the first Arena...MAUAUUAUAH DIE HUMIE SCUUUUUUUUUUM!

Sidorio · Post by **Sidorio** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 10:49 am

That before or after I take you head off your shoulders.

T'keela · Post by **T'keela** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 11:20 am

Im like a cocharoach, I can survive without my head for a couple of days. Question is: Do you think you can take my head off before I leave you sliced from shoulder to hip? =P

Sidorio · Post by **Sidorio** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 11:40 am

Ouch... Umm proabably not... unless I was some sort of protozoa and didn't have a hip or shoulder. What would you do then?

Post by **Kinslayer** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 12:47 pm

Please keep the OOC chat within reason, not just spamming chat. We have msn etc for that.

Rork edit: Also remember I am watching too. RPG posts still have to conform to the usual forum rules.

Mel'Reyna: your movement stat is used in a number of things. If one opponent is charging at another, who is trying to fire a ranged weapon at them, then a higher movement gives more chance of reaching them before they shoot. If one player tries to run away from another (if reduced to 1DP, for example) movement is used to see if they run / the other catches them. Things like this. Basically any situation where the length of your stride will come into use.

Wow you people realy don't like poor old mad Gil'valyer very much do you. At this rate I am counting it as a moral victory if I am not the first to die

. Come to think of it this is exactly how I got killed in the first shadow arena game.

Ah well, live and learn.

First lesson do not pick high elf on a dark elf forum write one hundred times untill you are sane.

Post by **Kinslayer** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 8:44 pm

Perhaps it would have been more fun to have several high elves not just one then

Since everybody has replied I shall get around to the second mod post if I get the time tonight. I learned from the trial arena though that the mod post takes a long time. Considering I have to read each persons post, then write up what they do based on their intended actions, but everone involves others too. Not as simple as it sounds, since some actions trigger different things etc. I shall try and find the time today, like I said.

Raneth · Post by **Raneth** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 10:16 pm

There is another High Elf involved... and we happen to be ganging up on him as well (even if it's in Chaos Dwarf guise). But seriously Ainur! Durguth was just minding his own beeswax. You reap what you sow! :twisted:

Post by **Kinslayer** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 10:29 pm

yeah sorry I miscounted, there are two. I knew that in game just forgot when I posted the above.

T'Keela: for losing a DP first, think it's the gods revenge from winning the trials? It was all down the the dice I am afraid.

T'keela · Post by **T'keela** » Thu Apr 09, 2009 2:16 am

Yeah I was thinking about that, or Sidorio managed to hire an assassin from the grave...WOOOO WOOO WOOOO. All in good fun, seriously though time to rape some churches and burn some women.

(If you have seen "The Whitest kids You Know", you will know what I'm talking about.)

T'Keela: Having not seen that mentioned film (I assume), I hope that is not a stab at religion. Such things will no doubt bring down the Hammer of Rork upon thee.

T'keela · Post by **T'keela** » Thu Apr 09, 2009 9:12 pm

No, no dear friend. Me? Make a stab at religion? NEVER! But if you want to life at something go to Youtube and search The Whitest Kids You Know. Look for the one about invincible bears...

Post by **Rork** » Thu Apr 09, 2009 11:43 pm

I know allusions to raiders of old...

Although I expect future posts to be back on topic, T'Keela.

Kin can you get some new dice they seem to hate me. :cry:

Post by **Kinslayer** » Sun Apr 12, 2009 9:55 pm

Well, pray to the dice Gods for deliverance, or something! I have plenty of dice, all of them unloaded, and probably didn't use the same one each turn. Sorry if you feel the game is picking on you there

Note: I had made a mistake in the Read This First thread. Thanks to T'Keela for noticing it.

Great Swords and Great Axes now confer the +1 strength (high strength ability).

They did already, it just didn't say they did as I missed it out.

Also, what are peoples thoughts on elves having +1 A and -1 BS on their basic profile?
